NUOMIC Screened Bottom Board for 10-Frame Langstroth Hive — 2-Pack Cedar, Beeswax-Dipped with Removable Debris Tray

NUOMIC 2 Pack Bee Hive Screened Bottom Boards are beeswax-dipped, cedar screened bases designed for standard 10-frame Langstroth hives to improve summer airflow and simplify hive maintenance.

These assembled screened bottom boards replace solid bottoms to promote circulation, moderate internal hive temperature, and make inspections easier with a removable debris tray. Constructed from selected cedar and finished in a double beeswax dip, the boards are built for outdoor exposure and frequent handling. They’re tailored to be a drop-in fit for standard 10-frame Langstroth equipment and arrive ready to use so backyard and small-scale commercial beekeepers can upgrade quickly before peak season.

How does this screened bottom board improve hive airflow and temperature?

The integrated metal screen allows air to pass freely through the brood chamber, helping reduce trapped heat and humidity during warm months. Increased ventilation can help the colony maintain a more stable internal environment without mechanical intervention.

• Precision metal mesh positioned across the base for continuous airflow
• Permeable design reduces hot spots and moisture buildup
• Works passively—no fans or power required

Will this fit my Langstroth 10-frame hive and how easy is installation?

Yes—the boards are manufactured to the dimensions of a standard 10-frame Langstroth hive and come fully assembled for immediate use. Installation is straightforward: remove the old bottom board and set the NUOMIC screened board in place; no tools or modifications are typically necessary.

• Made to standard 10-frame Langstroth dimensions
• Comes fully assembled and ready to install
• Simple swap-out reduces hive disturbance

What materials and finishes are used, and how do they affect durability?

These bottom boards are crafted from selected cedar, chosen for strength and natural resistance to decay, then finished with a double beeswax dip to add water resistance and reduce wear. The combination extends outdoor life while preserving a bee-friendly surface and appearance.

• Cedar construction for structural stability and weather resistance
• Double beeswax-dipping protects wood and is hive-safe
• Corrosion-resistant metal mesh for long-term ventilation

How does the removable tray help with maintenance and inspections?

The bottom board includes a slide-out plastic tray that collects debris, varroa fall, and other material, allowing visual checks without lifting hive boxes. This reduces stress to the colony and speeds routine monitoring tasks.

• Slide-out plastic tray for quick cleaning and inspection
• Enables non-intrusive varroa monitoring and debris removal
• Easy to remove, rinse, and replace between checks

Who is this for: The NUOMIC screened bottom board 2-pack suits hobbyist, hobby-commercial, and small apiary operators who run 10-frame Langstroth hives and want a durable, low-maintenance way to improve ventilation during warm months. It’s ideal for beekeepers preparing for honey flows, those aiming to simplify varroa and debris checks, and anyone wanting a ready-to-install, weather-resistant bottom board without custom modifications.
